About BLUE CORN TORTILLA CHIPS, BLUE CORN
Meijer Blue Corn Tortilla Chips is a conventional (non-organic) tortilla chip product sold under the Meijer private label, made from ground blue corn with trace of lime, fried in vegetable oil (canola, soybean, and/or sunflower oil), and seasoned with sea salt. The trace of lime refers to the calcium hydroxide (cal) used in the nixtamalization process, which is traditional in corn tortilla production. Nixtamalization improves the texture, flavor, and nutritional profile of corn products. The non-organic status distinguishes this from the True Goodness organic blue corn chip variants also in the Meijer lineup.
Per 100 grams, this product provides 500 calories, 7.14g protein, 64.29g carbohydrates, 25.0g fat, and 3.6g dietary fiber. The macronutrient profile is consistent with other blue corn chip entries. The calorie density is high as expected for a fried tortilla chip product. The vegetable oil blend (canola, soybean, and/or sunflower) provides flexibility in oil sourcing without affecting the final product flavor profile significantly.
This product contains soybean oil, which may be a concern for consumers with soy allergies, though highly refined soybean oil is generally considered low-allergen by the FDA. No wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame are declared. The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and is gluten-free. The use of sea salt rather than iodized table salt is consistent across Meijer's tortilla chip range. This is the standard-tier blue corn chip within Meijer's lineup, positioned below the organic variants in terms of ingredient sourcing but otherwise similar in flavor and nutritional profile.
Ingredients
